Welcome to the Groupsite for GreenWheaton.

GreenWheaton became a non-profit organization in June 2011. We are dedicated to engaging the community in education and outreach that promotes Wheaton, Maryland as a model sustainable community with a healthy environmental footprint.

Through Public Education and Outreach, we plan to:

Reduce the community's carbon footprint

Build environmentally-conscious consumers

Support the success of local businesses

Engage the community in building green, thriving neighborhoods

Improve air and water quality in the watershed

Create a healthy, accessible, welcoming downtown for both pedestrians and bicyclists

Inter-connect the Wheaton downtown and its neighborhoods physically, functionally and thematically

Serve as a living laboratory for testing and modeling "Urban Greening" and "Low Impact Development" practices
